South African home shared by Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy now on the market as a royal love nest

It's trumpeted as the house where Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy enjoyed some of the most 'exciting and romantic' days of their relationship.

Now visitors to Cape Town can sample a taste of royal living for themselves by staying in the - dare one say it - rather tackily marketed Royal Love Nest Guest House.

The stylish £240,000 property, which is situated in the exclusive suburb of Newlands, was bought for Chelsy by her wealthy parents, Charles and Beverly, while she was studying at the nearby university.

Until just over a year ago, Harry, who is third in line to the throne, was a frequent visitor to the four-bedroomed house where he and Chelsy shared her charming white-washed bedroom, while his bodyguard slept in the room next door.

When the Zimbabwean-born student graduated with a degree in PPE and moved to England in order to be close to her boyfriend, it was put on the market and snapped up by British-based Pumla and Madoda Hoshe in March 2007.

Initially the couple, who used to live in South Africa with their three children, used it as a holiday home as the spacious detached property, complete with double garage, is situated in tone of the city's most pleasant suburbs.

The home is also just a short drive from its spectacular beaches and world-famous Table Mountain.

But the couple quickly realised it could become a money spinner and turned it into a guest house charging between £50 and £95 a night including breakfast.

Mrs Hoshe, 40, a medical technician, said: 'I was delighted to hear the house was for sale.

'It is a dream to make it into a guesthouse because Harry and Chelsy spent lots of special time there together, including Chelsy's 21st birthday.

'I suppose they did whatever young couples get up to behind closed doors.

'The guests find the history of the house very exciting.'

Mrs Hoshe employs staff to manage the house as she now lives in London and says they have had an incredibly positive response since opening.

'They all say the place is lovely and we have even managed to impress our first honeymoon couple,' she said.

'It is a very safe and upmarket area and I can say it is the only guest house in the area which is owned by a black woman.

Harry, 24, and Chelsy, 23, famously dated for more than four years but split up in January after deciding they needed to spend more time concentrating on their careers.

Harry is currently stationed at RAF Barkston Heath in Lincolnshire where he is training to become an Army Air Corps helicopter pilot while Chelsy is about to take her post-graduate law degree finals at Leeds.

Mrs Hoshe insists their split has not upset the family's business plan, however.

'I don't believe their break up is for keeps. I imagine they just need to sort out their lives before they get serious again,' she said.
